Mrs. Lucy A. Fogg.

A large circle of friends will read with
pain of the death of Mrs. Lucy A. Fogg,
the wife of Mr.. Samuel Fogg of the late
firm of Hoyt, Fogg & Donham. The death
occurred yesterday afternoon after a
distressing illness of three weeks. Especial
sadness will be in scores of homes and with
a large company of the children Of the Sec
ond Parish Sabbath School. For many years
member of this church, she was especially
useful as the teacher of the primary class OF
he school, constant visitor to its homes,
and an almoner of blessing to the poor. Her
last work was the distribution, to the less
favored ones Of the offerings made by the
school at its Thanksgiving. She leaves a
place in the church and Sabbath school hard
to be filed. Her memory will be cherished
by many little child The funeral services
will be conducted ON Sabbath morning at
II o'clock at her late home in Deering Cen
ter. Street cars viii leave Preble street at
1915 and 1890 o'clock for such as desire to
attend, returning after the services.

The Great Natural Healer.
Marvellous Cures"

DR.. Fritz, at the Falmouth Hotel, is fairly
overrun with patients all of whom pronounce
his cures the most remarkable on record.
many of which have been witnessed by the
public during his lectures at Congress Hall,
but even greater cures have emanated from
his private treatments at his parlors. Among
the noted cures during the week we're:
Mrs. Sarah Dupee-This lady has been
nearly blind for the past four years. Her
sight was entirely restored in few hours.
James Henderson-Spinal complaint.
Cured in twenty minutes.
Mr.. NJ. Malden-Been doctoring for the
past eight years for congestion of the liver
and rheumatism. Cured in one week.
Another very remarkable cure of aphroba
or loss of voice-Mrs. Sarah Hyde has been
troubled with complete loss of voice for the
the past six years. Was cured so that she
spoke perfectly in fifteen minutes.
lMr. Leroy Page has been troubled over
four years with creeping-palsy, as the doc
tors pronounced it, great and ineessant
trembling of the limbs and head-which en-
tirely incapacitated him from his business
was entirely and completely restored in less
than thirty minutes, merely and simply by
the laying on of hands.
The doctor can be seen at the Falmouth
Hotel for many days yet. Those contem-
plating consulting him should do so that
they may be cured while he is still here.
